Main Muscle: Lats
Secondary Muscle(s): Biceps, Forearms, Upper Back
Exercise Type: Pull, Compound
Equipment Required: Pull Up Bar

Exercise Description and Instruction:

This Compound Exercise is one of our Body Weight Exercises and is a variation of Standard Pull Ups. Pull-Ups are one of the most popular and most beneficial body weight exercises, but unfortunately, they’re a great test of strength that most people fail. While doing climber pull-ups, you will alternate the side that you pull to and emphasize.

If you’re unable to complete a set of Pull Ups, build your strength with Chin Ups, Lat Pull Down, or Narrow Parallel Grip Chin Ups, which are slightly easier, but also great exercises for these muscle groups.

To Perform This Exercise:

  1. Grasp a pull up bar with a slightly wider than shoulder width grip.
  2. While keeping your body straight, pull yourself up to one side of the bar using primarily that side’s arm.
  3. Lower your body back down to the starting position.
  4. Raise yourself to the other side of the bar and repeat.

Tips:

  1. Concentrate on squeezing the back muscles at the top of the lift.
  2. Keep your back straight throughout this exercise.
  3. Perform each repetition in a slow and controlled manner using only your arms and back.
  4. Fully extend your arms at the bottom of the exercise before moving to another repetition.
